Yeah, they may not exactly be the Levi's x Opening Ceremony cords that everybody's been talking about, but who really gives a hoot? In my honest opinion, I think these colored cords from the local Levi's are even better because one, they're of my favorite slim straight cut (505s), and two, they're far cheaper than their much heralded cousins in the States. Same bang for less buck (only P1,800 a pop!), these are the few times I actually love living in a third world country.
